Advertising Section Amile. — -Bessie Love was not on the stage previous to her entrance into pictures. She began her screen career with D. W. Griffith. Her mother brought her around to the studio, and D. W. liked Bessie's looks so well that he gave her a bit in a picture. She turned out so well that the bit suddenly swelled into a very big part and. Bessie made quite a hit at the very start. Roscoe Arbuckle has deserted the , manly art of ducking custard pies and is now devoting all of his time making features for Famous Players-Lasky. "The Round-Up" is Roscoe's first dramatic picture since he began his screen career. Alice in Movieland. — Charles Ray is not still working for Thomas H. Ince. He is now at the head of his own company, producing features for First National. The reason you are led to believe that he is still with Ince is because you see pictures still being releasd by Paramount which were produced by Ince. The reason for this is that Charlie got quite a bit ahead on his releases before he left. William S. Hart has not retired from the screen as yet, although he threatens to do so at the completion of his present contract. Whether he carries out his threat or not remains to be" seen. J. V. S.— The "Market Booklet" has been mailed to you, as requested. The "Guideposts for Scenario Writers" is an entirely different book. _ H. J. G. — "The Perfect Woman" is. the title of Constance Talmadge's newest release. No trouble at all. Alva. — You had better buy your ink by the barrel if you intend to write letters to all the players whose addresses you request. It would be much cheaper for you. Look at the end of this department for the addresses you want. Warren & Julia. — There is no such person as Elizabeth Pelt being featured in pictures. She must have been kidding you. Snooks. — Grace Cunard and Francis Ford are working for different companies, which is one reason they are not playing together. Grace is married to Joe Moore, Tom's youngest brother. Tom is not married. Ethel Clayton was married to Joseph Kaufman, her director. He died about two years ago from pneumonia. Elsie Ferguson and Casson Ferguson are not related. Addresses at the end of this department. Louise Glaum is still starring in features produced by J. Parker Reade, Jr. Francis Carpenter was Jack in "Jack and the Beanstalk." Wanda is nineteen. Eleanor & Nellie. — Charles Meredith was just recently married. I think he would send you one of his photographs. Write and see. Conway is just as serious looking off as on. I don't see him in the type of part you mention at all. I don't think it suits his peculiar personality. If you want to write to Richard Barthelmess before he gets married, as you state, you are out of luck, because Dick became a blushing bridegroom on June eighteenth. Mary Hay, a former 'Tollies" girl, 'A'ho took Clarine Seymour's place in D. W. Griffith's "Way Down East," is the fair damsel in the case. You refer to Pell Trenton as May Allison's husband in the Metro feature "Fair and Warmer." Steve M. — Constance Talmadge was born in 1900 and Lila Lee arrived on this hemisphere two years later. How do you figure in this dispute in your town, on the right side or the wrong? Wanted: ScreenFaces for the Movies Hundreds of All Types Needed.

National Bob Youth and fashion is everything I am wearing the latest National Bob. It's too lovely for words with it's soft wavv hair falling teasingly over the combs that slip so easily through mv hair. Everyone thinks the Bob s my verv own— it matches so perfectly and I never sacrificed a, hair. I use invisible pins to attach the ends and its on and off in a jiffy. My picture shows the Bob charm. How did I get it? I sent a strand of mv hair withSI 0.00, and it was promptly sent —Postpaid. I'm as happy as a child with a new toy and I never looked so well— you'll like it too.
